Grumbacher Oil Painting Medium II

For hundreds of years the world has marveled at the works of art created by the "Old Masters" during the Renaissance. Not only did their achievements arise from training and talent, but also from the techniques they used in preparing their materials. It wasn’t until the 20th century that some of these formulas were rediscovered. Grumbacher has continued this tradition in the manufacture of its painting mediums, by assuring that the original paint attributes are enhanced, not compromised, by their use.

Formulated especially to improve flow, retard drying time, and impart a high gloss finish to the dried paint film, this is the ideal painting medium for alla prima (wet-in-wet) painting techniques. For best results, add it to paint in small amounts until the desired consistency is obtained. It contains D-Limonene and petroleum distillates, and may be diluted with pure gum spirits or turpentine.
